Driven partly by connectivity services, new business models could expand automotive revenue pools by about 30%, adding up to
$1.5 trillion by 2030 1. Automotive companies must be forward-thinking to keep up with this rapid change of pace. As the future of
transportation transitions from a standalone, private vehicle model to a shared vehicle economy, innovating at hyperspeed is a must

Aos, an open source connected services deployment and orchestration platform, enables OEMs and Tier 1 organizations to transform
at the speed of software by making it possible to standardize software development languages, tools and processes to create and
manage cloud applications that run directly in the connected vehicle.
In many ways, Aos is “Kubernetes” for vehicles, as it allows developers to install and run containerized services on a connected
vehicle. Aos does this while also managing the limitations of the vehicle’s computer, including computing power, memory and
network throughput, as well as ensuring safe and secure operations for connected cars.
